mjd - 2015 - surrender -
sterling with sleeping beauty turquoise & red coral
freedom is gained
in releasing.
life is change.
our white-knuckled grip
of clinging
to avoid that which is inevitable
brings great suffering.
our hands tire and ache.
mjd - 2015 - surrender
when finally we open them,
allowing our fingers to stretch,
we exhale
and soften.
everything softens.
and in the act of surrender
we find the peace
we had been seeking
all along.
